architecture firm of

Head Golf Club, an original
design adjacent to the scenic
shoreline cliffs south of Waterville,
Ireland. The unique layout will be
unveiled in August 2017.
According to Robert Trent
Jones Jnr, who has designed
courses such as 2015 US Open
venue Chambers Bay and PGA
Tour venue Silverado Resort,

playing characteristic of fabled
Irish links designs.

said. "It will be different
every day with that hidden
dimension of variable winds."
